Concept Searching Adds Two more Competencies to the already achieved Microsoft Gold ISV Competency

McLean, VA –April 2011 - Concept Searching is pleased to announce the achievement of both the Microsoft Silver Portals and Collaboration and Content Management Silver Competencies under the new rigorous Microsoft Partner Program guidelines. These new accreditations add to the already achieved Gold ISV and Silver Search competencies requiring the highest level of competence and expertise with Microsoft technologies and partners who achieve this level are recognized by Microsoft as their elite business partners.
“Concept Searching has been a directly managed Microsoft Partner for the past two years. This close working relationship and our gold and newly achieved silver accreditations represents our continued commitment to Microsoft and in the continued development of innovative products that complement the Microsoft technology suite,” said Martin Garland, President. “The accreditation illustrates to our current and prospective clients and partners that Concept Searching has achieved the highest level of competence and expertise in Microsoft technologies.”
The revised Microsoft Partner Program was announced in 2010. The new program enables Microsoft customers and prospects to identify partners that have proven their commitment and expertise in one or more specialized areas. Previously, the Partner status reflected general capabilities and not the level of expertise within a specific solution area.
According to the new guidelines and requirements under the program, Microsoft Partners can attain accreditation in specific competencies. To achieve this, they must have Microsoft Certified Professionals on staff; obtain verified customer references for each competency; submit on-going customer satisfaction surveys; pass Microsoft designated tests for each competency, and maintain sales activity.
